Thorns, spines, and prickles are analogous to each other. All three have the same function - protecting the plant from external harm by animals. But they are all having different evolutionary origins as already stated in the question - thorns are modified stems, spines are modified leaves, and prickles are outgrowths from a stem surface. So the correct answer is option B : Analogous.

8 Does the figure at the right show homologous or analogous structures 9 At some point during their embryological development, all vertebrates have certain shared structures that appear early in embryonic stages of development. List these three shared structures development and differ in later which of the following statementis) are not true? (Circle the correct answer.) a. Evolution involves changes in gene frequency over time b. Microevolution involves changes in a population over time and occurs slowly c. Evolution involves...
1. Label the microphylls and strobili in the Figure 1 below. Figure 1. Lycopodium sp. Examine the prepared slide of a mature Lycopodium strobilus. (See text Figure 17-16, pages 406 and 407.) Note that Lycopodium, like most species in the Lycopodiaceae, is homosperous and only produces one type of spore 2. Label the spores in Figure 2 below. Figure 2. Lycopodium strobilus 1.s. 3. Given that Lycopodium is homosporaus, would you expect its gametophytes to be unisexual or bisexual? Explain...

Please read the three-page article below titled The Body Rituals of the Nacirema. As you read it imagine that you are about to enter this culture (that does actually exist) and answer the following 2 questions: 1. What is the most "shocking" part about this culture to you? 2. Reflecting on this week's material, what are two things you personally feel would be most helpful in minimizing/managing your culture shock and how would those two things help? The Body Rituals...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
